When the rain closes in, one Sea Knight crew is told to fly nothing but night medevac until the weather turns.
Captain Vlachos and his crew move to a revetment beside the 3rd Med pad at Quang Tri, close enough to hear the corpsmen yelling. Lieutenant Pembroke irons his flight suit, and he wants his check ride. Sergeant Fanning flies all night and works on the aircraft by day. A corpsman named Galasso rides in back. Above them, Captain Embry flies chase in Fifteen with his lights off, ready to come down if they go into the trees.
The calls come from squads on ridges and fingers near the line, in cloud and drizzle and dark. Vlachos learns to come in low up the valleys with no lights. In a covered gun pit above a draw, Tiệp is teaching a young gunner, Lò Hoài, to listen for two rotors that never beat in step. He has stopped waiting at the landing zones. He waits where the helicopter has to come.
